Pattern Induction
Objective: Pattern induction to examine statistical learning of phonological patterns in artificial words
This is a Pattern Induction protocol using Human as the model organism. The procedure involves 4 procedural steps, 6 equipment items, 2 materials. Extracted from a 2026 paper published in PLoS One.
Model and subjects
Human • Not applicable • 15 males, 63 females • Mean age: 20.47 years (SD: 3.21) • 78
Study window
Estimated timing pending
Core workflow
Random group allocation • Pattern exposure • Stimulus presentation
Primary readouts
- Pattern learning for subsequent word segmentation and wordlikeness rating tasks
Key equipment and reagents
Use this page as an execution guide, then fall back to the source paper whenever you need exact exclusions, dosing details, or assay-specific caveats.
Confirm first
- Verify the animal model, intervention setup, and collection timepoints against the source paper.
- Check that every direct vendor link matches the exact specification your lab plans to run.
Use the page like this
- Work through the protocol steps in order and use the inline vendor chips only when you need to source or verify an item.
- Jump to Experimental Context for readouts, data shape, and analysis flow before planning downstream analysis.

Random group allocation
Participants were randomly allocated to either Complex pattern group (n=39) or Simple pattern group (n=39)
View evidence from paper
“The participants were randomly allocated to one of the two groups – Complex pattern group (n = 39)”
Pattern exposure
Complex group exposed to 30 bisyllabic stimuli with clusters in initial position; Simple group exposed to 30 bisyllabic stimuli with plosives/fricatives in initial position
View evidence from paper
“Participants in the Complex pattern group were exposed to the 30 bisyllabic speech stimuli with clusters”
Stimulus presentation
Participants listened to random order presentation of 30 stimuli, each 600 ms long with 2 s inter-stimulus interval
View evidence from paper
“Each stimulus was 600 ms long and separated by an inter-stimulus interval of 2 s”
Listening instructions
Participants instructed to attentively listen to artificial words for use in subsequent stages, without feedback

“Participants were instructed to attentively listen to the artificial words, as they would use them in subsequent stages”
